What is living in Pecos, Texas like?
Well I will put it like this, I had a friend that was relocated to Pecos by his job. He said the town is quiet after 8pm. I have been there many times and it's out there, I mean way out there in West Texas. It's the kind of place where everybody knows each other. The town is supported by farming and agriculture and most people living there are farmers in one way or the other. The city is 79% hispanic since it is close to the border.For More Info: Official Home Page for the Town of Pecos CityIt's no big city. If you are used to getting in your vehicle anytime of the day and going to a fast food place or big department store then it would take some getting used to if a person was to live there. Services are limited in small cities like Pecos due a small population which creates a small economy. The weather is HOT. Pecos is located in a dessert climate. I have provided some more info below. I hope it helps.FROM WIKIPEDIAPecos is the largest city in and the county seat of Reeves County, Texas, United States.It is in the valley on the west bank of the Pecos River at the eastern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, in the Trans-Pecos region of west Texas and just below New Mexico's border. The population was 8,780 at the 2010 census. On January 24, 2012, Pecos City appeared on the Forbes 400 as the second fastest-growing small town in the United States.The city is a regional commercial center for ranching, oil and gas production and agriculture. The city is most recognized for its association with the local cultivation of cantaloupes.Pecos claims to be the site of the world's first rodeo on July 4, 1883

What are the best cities for living and working in Canada?
Since I've lived in Ottawa for 4 years now I feel compelled to tell you a little bit about it, then I'll get on with other notable cities in Canada. Ottawa is well-known for being a Government town. As the capital of Canada there are obviously very many Government buildings around. If you're looking to work in Government this is probably the best place. It's very close to Gatineau (QC) as well which offers housing at lower prices. Ottawa actually also has a pretty big StartUp community. Once you get involved - you'll quickly get to know everyone and find out how exciting (in my personal opinion) it is. Check out my answer on the best cities for Startups in Canada for a little bit more info: @Hailley Griffis's answer to What are the best startup/tech cities in Canada? ) Ottawa is beautiful with lots of history to see (endless museums and Parliament buildings!) On top of that there are always lots of festivals happening. Cities that there is a lot of 'buzz' around: Montreal I've visited Montreal a couple of times and I absolutely love it. It is noticably larger than Ottawa (which is why people will drive from Ottawa to Montreal for weekend trips - it only takes about 2 hours) which makes it a neat destination for interesting restaurants, a great nightlife, concerts as well as great shopping. Montreal is one of the only Canadian cities that has ever reminded me of Europe, they have the copplestone streets and older buildings that give it a little bit more of the European feel. What I've heard from people living in Montreal is that if you live downtown, it's amazing! If you live anywhere else, it's better to have a car to get around because the transit is a little slow. Vancouver I've had quite a few friends that attended the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Everyone that has been there praises Vancouver for it's green spaces and healthy lifestyle. Everyone is supposed to be very active and the community revolved around maintaining that high level of exercise and health. On top of that, Vancouver is stunning and is home to some pretty cool Canadian companies. HootSuite is one of the tops ones. Other cities that I've heard good things aobut in no particular order: Calgary (Lots of fun things to do in a growing city) Edmonton (It gets cold here but the residents love it!) Toronto (A very busy city - the largest in Canada) Quebec City (Another beautiful city) Waterloo (Famous for their StartUps)
What's it like living in Lubbock, Texas?
Lubbock. I still have post traumatic Stress. Actually I lived in Levelland for two years but I worked in Lubbuck. MY in laws still live there in a rural area on the outskirts out past East 4th street. What do you want to know? How the when the oil wells were capped people lost jobs in record numbers? Or How NAFTA devastated the area in the 90's and the closing of Reese Airforce base made it worse. It is an area that has high unemployment. Methamphetamine use is high. It is run By Biker gang the Hells Angels don't dare take on. Identity theft and hot check writing are rife in the West texas Area. It is like a death pall to drive past the boarded up windows in storefronts and wonder to my self how families get along there. Every spring it is tornado season and every Cotton harvest time no one can breathe. The dust storms are always fun. If it was bad enough I could sit in my house, with all of my doors and windows closed and still taste the dust in my mouth. You can see the storms coming your way as it is the South Plains. Dust storms are a reddish brown. During Tornado Season, you watch the Doppler radar and storm warnings. Tornado weather appears in black. Maybe things have gotten better since I left but I never believe the media or internet postings. When I left in 1999. there was a near 1 in four people unemployed. But trust me, the devastation Lubbock went through is not magically fixed in the space of ten years. I always tell anyone, if there is a hells half acre on Gods Green Earth it is in West Texas.
